Hey Melissa Buntin, have you tried our math block? It uses Katex. Let us know if this doesn't suit your needs!

Alison (Design @ Gamma) Yes, I've used the math block. Linear equations are easy to type as long as I didn't use a fraction. I searched for a Gamma help video to help me type fractions and exponents, but couldn't find it. I also searched the internet for commands in KaTex. I couldn't find what I was looking for. Is there a video or website you'd recommend? I am using Gamma daily in Algebra, but I take screenshots instead of typing in the math. I'd love to stay in Gamma as I make the presentation. Thanks your for your reply!!

Melissa Buntin Thanks for the additional info, this is helpful! I'm afraid I wasn't a star math student so I'm a bit out of my depth here, but does this look better?
I copied and pasted the formatting from this documentation: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html
Here, I used {a \over b} but I think any of the other ones would work as well.

Alison (Design @ Gamma) Thanks so much! I went to that website repeatedly, but it never loaded. I just went on my phone and now all is right with the world!

Melissa Buntin Awesome! If you have trouble loading it on your computer, you could also try opening it in an incognito/private tab (usually cmd+shift+n). Happy mathing!
